A woman in Singapore who concealed her meetings with a male friend from coronavirus contact tracing has been sentenced to five months in prison.
Oh Bee Hiok, 65, was worried her family would think she was having an affair if she disclosed the meet-ups.
Officials discovered the outings after reviewing CCTV and other material.
Singapore uses strict measures to try to keep infections in check. It has recorded 29 deaths and comparatively few cases.
Mrs Oh met up with 72-year-old Lim Kiang Hong five times before she tested positive for Covid-19 in February.
